Subscription boxes are one of the easiest kinds of gifts to give and it definitely shows a little more thought than a giftcard. Since subscription services usually focus on one type of gift like food, clothing or a monthly activity, the most difficult thing is choosing a service that will suit your recipient's interests. But this isn't hard to do, since there are so many great options on the market.
An easy choice for anyone who likes to look good is to send a box of beauty supplies, clothing or grooming products each month. Since the variety of samples that come in the box are typically more affordable through these services, it's a great way to test them out before committing to anything.
Other interesting niche subscription boxes include products specifically for vegans, local produce deliveries or items that will spoil a newborn baby. These make great gift ideas for birthdays, Christmas and other special events because they offer something new each time you open the box.
